LVLCHG.....couldnt agree more. If you have the oportunity to get a degree, get it. I'm in my final year of uni and it is an experience which would be a pity to miss! Its also very useful as previously said to fall back on in the event you become medically unfit etc. Certain people will go through ctc without a degree but i would imagine you have a better chance with one since you have more to speak about at interviews and a bit of experience out of school before launching into the flying scene.
